The goals of the WGSRF are to promote and foster Women's and Gender Studies (under all its myriad names) as an academic field and to build a network of its practitioners across Canada, in both languages. The association encourages a wide definition of Women's and Gender Studies as a field of study and aims to aid those teaching and researching in the field in a variety of locations.

Dr. Janelle Kwee, Associate Professor of Counselling Psychology at Trinity Western University and GSI scholar, has been selected as the Canadian Psychological Association’s Feminist Mentor of the year. She will receive the award on June 13, 2013 at the CPA conference in Quebec City at the meeting of the Section on Women and Psychology.
